Interesting topic. I don't get all of the hate for "Welcome To The Room... Sara" - I actually love that song.

Christine - "Sugar Daddy", "Warm Ways", "Over My Head". I'm not a fan of her contributions to the White album. At all. I find them boring and I think she wrote better songs during the Buckingham-Nicks era. However, I think she is the most consistently good writer, even though Stevie's songs are my favourite.

Stevie - "Sweet Girl", "Goodbye Baby" (well, I love the early demos), "The Second Time", "Paper Doll".

Lindsey - "Oh Diane", "Empire State", "Can't Go Back", "Eyes Of The World", "Book Of Love". I can't stand his "Mirage" contributions.

I am bewildered by many of these answers.

Using ChiliD's criteria of being able to find no redeeming value, but applying it only to Rumours-era (or post-Rumours) output:

"No Questions Asked", from the Greatest Hits

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

Why do you love it? Why don't I love it?

It's got something about it, that just draws me to it. I love the guitar in it for a start, the lyrics are pretty good and there's some great harmonies within it. I prefer it to "As Long As You Follow", even though I like that a lot too.

I so agree with everyone of Lindsey's "Mirage Songs...don't like Empire State or Oh Diane..I can tolerate Eyes of the World. Stevie Good Bye Baby and The Second Time...they just drag. Save Me from Christine.

Love Sugar Daddy! Love Temporary One!

Okay, now that I've defended those two tunes, here's the list of FM songs I don't like:

When You Say
All Jeremy's Mr. Wonderful Songs (except for Rockin' and Evening Boogie)
Morning Rain (the album version)
The Ghost
I'm a Road Runner
The City
For Your Love
Coming Home (Bob Welch's version)
Safe Harbor
She's Changing Me
Can't Go Back
Empire State
Straight Back
Oh Diane
When I See You Again
Welcome to the Room Sara
No Questions Asked
Most of the Songs from Behind the Mask (except Save Me, Affairs of the Heart and the title tune)
Paper Doll (truly awful)
All of Dave Mason's songs
These Changing Times
All Over Again
Smile At You
Silver Girl
Come

Straight Back and Smile at You? Wow, I love those songs.
I agree about Paper Doll, I sometimes like it a little, but is so odd lyrically.

Never heard of dislike from fans on ISA, that song just rocks.

Never liked Empire State as well.

At least for the ones that we dislike, there are tons more that we do like and totally rock and make us happy.

This thread is so interesting to me to hear about songs others dislike that I have loved all these years, but just like the songs, they are unique, just like us fans and that is a very good thing. Life on here would be boring if everyone had the same likes and dislikes.

Wow, am I the ONLY one who can't get through "You and I, Pt 2"??!??!
That and "Silver Girl" are my two all time least favs.

I dont think I dislike any of LB's other FM contributions (I would say Family Man, but I love his playing in it...)

Depending on my mood I almost never listen to "That's Alright", but over the years it has grown on me a bit.
